These tables are so much fun, but they brick themselves after 6 to 12 months. When you search your issue up online you find a lot of people with the same problem!
You can buy a new one for $1500 or if you’re still in their short warranty period, Arcade1Up will send you a replacement for 600$ plus shipping. But we can do better! Let’s try fixing the one you have first.
Here’s some links to other people with the problem, to show how common the failure is.

We have the fix! Read on…
Update: We’re getting so many inquiries that we’ve put up a new page on our website with clear instructions on how to take your infinity table apart & send it to us!
Update 2: A youtuber did our fix and made a great video about it. It brought his table back to life instantly!
Here’s our original article, showing how we fixed our first one.
Arcade1up Infinity Table Disassembly
The case is attached with ~20 screws of 3 different types. Don’t mix them up!
Our customer gave us a good hint to follow. Internet users noted power issues, maybe resolved by replacing the 12V power adapter.
Infinity Tables also develop screen backlight issues. Those are more complex to repair and involve replacing components like diodes or resistors.
We tested the power supply voltage & compared to a new one. Arcade1up’s 6-month old power supply tested much lower!
At 12.18v DC vs a new one at 12.35v DC, we still consider this power supply “good”.
So why do they fail?
Arcade1up did something weird with the PCB. They included a little 5 ohm resistor near the start of the circuit that cuts the power down below 12v. So even though the supply might test fine, that resistor makes it so there’s not enough power for the rest of the board.

We don’t recommend attempting this repair yourself unless you have the tooling and experience to surface mount solder!
If you’re already a competent arcade pilot already, you’ll easily identify the repair from the above pictures.

It’s Fixed!
It’s got sound, its got vibration, it’s got display, and since I reattached that wifi cable, its even still got internet!
A few rounds of cut-the-rope and a 24-hour run test later, it’s ready to go back home!
